looks great. if you ever become concerned about the slim coverage at the hammock ends, you may want to take another look at the storage end covers.
i need to get back on that project & show a trimer, simpler version that would be more attractive to folks. ...tim

Yep, this weekend I am going out. I haven't figured out where, but I know it will be in Northern/Central Virginia. I am hoping to make it to SEHHA, but I need to come up with a ride. I am going to try and add a ridge line to the hammock so that it is more comfortable. I have it set up to use a removable ridge line. Sorry that I have no pic of the hammock. When I set it up for that pic it fell. I didn't have the ring buckles secured.

I am thinking of having a removable bug netting, but I don't want to use a zipper, and I am unsure if Velcro will work on a HH clone (with no bottom entry).
I have decided that the Figure 9s are what I will use for the ridge tie outs on the tarp. Those cams cannot be used for that. I did manage to use them but not in the way they are intended to be used. It is funny the way one comes up with *******ized ways of doing things when one wants to just get it up.

I still need to seem seal the tarp. I will probably do that today. One thing I learned to simplify the construction of the MacCat is to try and not cut any of the curves until you have everything measured and drawn out. Then I put the second panel underneath the one with all the lines drawn and cut both at the same time. In addition, I hate to pin, so when I was pinning the edges to get ready for hemming I realized most of the hemming problems are caused by the corners and so I just pinned the corners. This made things so much quicker. Oh, and double sewing the hem IMO makes it look so much cleaner. I am definitely going to do that on my Micro clone.
